Updates on Transformers, Top Gun 2 and Jack Ryan

Several Paramount films got a status update today thanks to the studio's Film Group president Adam Goodman. Read on for the latest on Transformers 4, Top Gun 2 and the Jack Ryan reboot...

-- Transformers 4 will be scripted by Ehren Kruger, who also wrote the third film and co-wrote the second. Regarding Shia LaBeouf's leaving the franchise, Goodman says, "The story is going in a different direction now."

-- The Jack Ryan reboot with Chris Pine is gearing up to shoot after Star Trek 2. "I think the idea is to try and get it for 2013," says Goodman.

-- Regarding Darren Aronofsky's biblical epic Noah, the exec says, "It will be a big, robust production and will have tremendous scale. It's the perfect combination of casting [Russell Crowe, Saoirse Ronan and Jennifer Connelly] and a remarkable adventure. This isn't what you think of when you think of Darren, but it will be very true to him as a filmmaker. It will be PG-13 and will likely cost around $125 million."
